#346 When the wrapping paper pattern lines up perfectly when you go to tape it

Yes, somewhere between peeling tape, snipping corners, and curling ribbons you start obsessing over all the little details. And sure, if you’re like me your present just ends up a corner-dented patchwork of twisted tape and shoddy edges. But for the pros there’s something important and something sweet about getting the whole thing looking jussssssssst right..

I usually don’t pay attention to the line up of the paper, but last night I had the bulbs on my wrapping paper match perfectly….. except the colors. The blue was matched with the green, the red with the gold. I had to laugh about it.

good morning other Bekah that posted before me!
Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

I’ve been getting AWESOME feedback from this site to mine. Enjoy!!
Hahaha!! That’s amazing. I literally was wrapping last night and it happened and I smiled…but it is pretty awesome! The worst is when you line it up but then realize you have no tape close by! Definite COOLER!

My mum would match up the patterns perfectly and she never had jagged corners, or rogue tape sticking up. I’ve never met anyone who could wrap as well as she did. They always looked immaculate. Unfortunately, her perfect wrapping genes didn’t translate to me.

Well, for me: many a package that looked wrapped, unwrapped, wrapped and so on…
I have done the beautiful bag thing, but I know the recipients (and me) are missing the tearing and ripping and shredding (Or neatly folding for another year-sort of awesome in it’s Own right) of the paper. Aluminum? That really works! And with a stick on bow, and the Lights under the tree turning it many colours——–I think you know the word!
Merry Christmas to ALL Awesome People,

I LOVE wrapping gifts! Especially if it’s a nice rectangle box that can sport some crisp, clean edges (and not something weird, like a box with a cutout as the front or something octagonal).

My grandpa was a pharmacist who owned his own drugstore … so my mom gift-wrapped her way through her childhood, teen, and young adult years. She has all kinds of awesome tips and tools for how to wrap like a pro.

Sadly, I’m not good enough to plan for the pattern to line up, but it’s a total Christmas-high when it does; to the point that I usually show at least one other person so that my work can be appreciated. :)

Just yesterday, my mom was wrapping the gifts I had bought for some of my family (since I am a horrendous gift-wrapper). I was filling out the gift tags when my mom started to yell OMG OMG LOOK AT THIS! She had lined up the wrapping paper so that the candy canes lined up perfectly. It was a sign of awesome.
